Some OnePlus reviews or previews or hands-on or just random news stories at your everyday tech outlets will note the litany of incompetence, but plenty won't, just treating them like any other company -- "the buttons feel good, the fingerprint is in a weird place, it's pretty fast", and every time I read one of those I wonder if we're the weird ones for harping on them at every mention. Then like clockwork there's another horror story and I'm reminded no, it really is everyone else who is wrong.

I feel like the negativity towards Oneplus is stronger here than anywhere else I have seen but even places like r/android have cooled off noticeably on OnePlus. If one absolutely MUST have a 500 dollar flagship, it looks like Huawei's Honor subsidiary is the better option these days: http://www.androidpolice.com/2018/01/23/honor-view10-review/

I mean, the government told ATT to stop collaborating on the 5g spec with them. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Jan 23, 2018 |

I'm strongly against the type of surveillance we're talking about here, but...I don't think so? I mean, are you claiming that because the US government surveils, it should just be OK with being surveilled back and just not do anything about it?

It's quite common on places like Reddit, SA, within the IT and infosec industry, etc, for American tech nerds to get all high and mighty about how bad the Chinese government is for spying on their own people, yet not holding their own government to the same criticism. This is off-topic though so I don't mind dropping it, and I apologize for my contribution to the derail.

American spying is bullshit too, and I want this poo poo out of my hardware. Good luck with that, though. Unlike Chinese phones, there's not a lot of alternatives for CPUs and the like. But yeah, fuckin' Americans. Those idiots voted for Trumpler.

Jesus christ, is there an even vaguely useful image editor app for android anymore since photoshop Touch died a death. Right now there are just bad Instagram clones as far as I can tell. Literally all I want to do is take a couple of bits of screenshot and convince them into a single image the dimension of which I can specify.

Google Home/Pixel 2 question... I'm a relatively new Home user. Is there a reason I can cast to my home using the home app but if I click on the dedicated "cast to" button within the YouTube app I can't see my Home speaker?

MMD3 posted:Google Home/Pixel 2 question... I'm a relatively new Home user. Yes, cast apps have different modes for audio and video. Most (all?) primarily audio apps include a video mode that is just the audio with some display information. I'm not familiar with any primarily video apps that include an audio only mode. The home app just sends it your device audio, so you sidestep this. Edit: I'm not sure I'm the best at explaining things. The tl;dr is that app developers have to specifically implement audio only casting if they want to include it, and apparently YouTube doesn't want to include it.

So going back to my storage question momentarily (meant to ask this before, sorry), if I have say 10-12 GB free of my 32 native storage, is that a "safe" amount of free space? I always heard filling stuff up too much is potential sorrow in terms of straining the hardware, whether you're talking phones, PC's, whatever. I was always curious if there's any conventional wisdom on phones. I always heard ~15% for an HDD in a PC, but yeah.

Solid state storage definitely benefits from having free space but 33% is more than necessary. That said, more is always better than less.

There are two that are currently the subject of scrutiny; messages between those two weren't recorded for a few months in 2017: quote:The Department wants to bring to your attention that the FBI’s technical system for retaining text messages sent and received on FBI mobile devices failed to preserve text messages for Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page from December 14, 2016 to approximately to May 17, 2017. The FBI has informed [the Department of Justice] that many FBI-provided Samsung 5 mobile devices did not capture or store text messages due to misconfiguration issues related to rollouts, provisioning, and software upgrades that conflicted with the FBI’s collection capabilities. The result was that data that should have been automatically collected and retained for long-term storage and retrieval was not collected.
